PVP Botting

[Gor]

If alot of people collectively stopped paying for their subs over the bot issue and wrote SE as to why they are cancelling their subs, bet those bots would be gone real quick. But SE knows that won't happen so they aren't going to do anything about it.

If this were any other top games company, those bots would have been gone long time ago as exploiting is taken very seriously at other game companies and SE is very capable of banning the botting accounts, they just don't do it.

So lesson learned here, keep whining, complaining and moaning but the reality is SE doesn't care about the bots nor your inconveniences or gaming experience. They just want your money so if you keep paying they aren't going to do anything about the bots.

The only workaround is to make your own premades.

the whole point of PvP is that it's PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER. not player versus NPC/bot. if you can't even be bothered to actually play the damn game, you shouldn't be rewarded for forcing the people you're leeching off of carry even harder, just to try to compensate for your worthless bot. I stand by what I said before: either remove the PvP XP for losing, or make it so that actually contributing to your team with actions more complex than spamming one skill over and over again nets you more experience. For healer bots, make it so that healing team mates who already have full health, or heals from the fairy do not count towards that healer's score, and thus reward no XP.

If that is undesirable, then disqualify players who don't move from their start point, since most of the bots I've seen never move. Disqualification actually results in a negative score, with the potential to rank down.

*sigh* I remember the first days of using bots in Final Fantasy on Nintendo and Super Nintendo. Get the game going, get the bit going, come back in a few hours and see how it's moving along.

And then taking over the controller again from your little brother. The good old days of botting.....

But all joking aside, because of my limited time available to play, I haven't done PvP for about a month now, basically shortly after it came out. So I haven't run into bots. It's actually pretty pathetic to use them, since PvP is the ONLY part of the game that is unpredictable, no matter how good you and your team are, due to playing against other real people.

So bots ruining PvP - that sucks big time. I too hope it gets addressed ASAP. Now I don't plan on PvPing until I see an update thread addressing the matter.

I have not seen the bots lately, can someone confirm from the server?

Not sure about you guys but in the Japanese Datacenter (Elemental), The bot was gone on the 2nd week.

[Aldehido]

These 2 persons being called upon on the first few posts have been botting basically everything in the game since it came out. They try to back up their claims by saying they're using some macro loops to be able to do everything they're claiming they're not boting.

You are asking for far too much.

This is the complacent attitude that lets MMO companies treat players like trash, like SE has done.

Got banned once for saying it... but, you know...

I've seen the rabbit related one recently, but not the one north of Wyoming. You may see it less frequently because it is a tank now, not a healer.

No.... I think it is their own negligence. Anyone who has dealt with SE in a previous title can tell you how horrible their timing is.

Considering that said characters never move, and just spam the same move over and over, they must think we're all retarded if they expect that excuse to be accepted.
